Location-aware service for the UbiCollab platform

by Jensen, Børge Setså

Abstract (Summary)

Location-aware services have become more important during the last decade due to the increasing mobility and connectivity of users and resources. Locationawareness is an important aspect of making an application context-aware. In supporting collaboration in a ubiquitous computing environment taking advantage of location information is an important feature.The UbiCollab Platform is a platform that supports collaboration in a ubiquitous environment. This thesis presents an extension of the UbiCollab platform to make it location-aware. The work shows how the location service can be developed to handle storing and querying of location information.
